Novels by Laverne

Up to this moment, Jack had been awake for two weeks. He still couldn't believe that Emily had forgiven him for everything he had done. He wondered if this was a long dream, afraid that when he woke up, she would push him away, disgusted by what he had done to her.There was nothing to worry about when Jack was discharged from the hospital and went home to rest. He heard the sounds of the house staff, and when he went downstairs, he saw chaos in the kitchen. Emily was trying to bake, but it seemed that baking was not her strong suit. The housekeeper advised her to go outside. If it weren't for something important, he would have let her do whatever she wanted, but the housekeeper said she was injured and needed some ointment. Her stubbornness didn't make him say much; he just carried her upstairs.Jack brought a basin of water and a towel, wringing it out and gently wiping Emily's face. He was clearly angry, but he didn't say anything to blame her."I can do it myself."She wanted to t

"Unless you come down to have dinner with me, I won't bother you anymore," Joyce said later.Once again, the topic was about food, and Emily lazily replied, "I'm full already. You go ahead and have dinner on your own.""Just a few pastries won't fill you up. I'll go down and tell the chef to prepare the meal, and then you have to come down," she insisted. Emily wasn't completely well, so skipping a meal wasn't an option. If he didn't return soon and hear the household staff's orders, he'd assume she had already eaten. In this way, he could leave her alone.Emily didn't respond. Of course, she wouldn't listen to Jack and join him for dinner. Just the thought of eating together made her nauseous, let alone actually doing it. She swallowed her distaste and tried to avoid his gaze as much as possible.However, Jack brought a portion of dinner to her room, and the smell of the food made Emily extremely uncomfortable. She pushed the completed jigsaw puzzle off the bed, causing the pieces to

The assistant looked at the paper Jack had drafted and couldn't help but praise him. Noticing that Jack wasn't angry, the assistant continued to flatter him, saying, "I believe the CEO's feelings will be reciprocated by the lady.""Is that so?"She didn't despise him, which was already a great blessing for him. He desired even more. But no matter how you put it, he still didn't have enough confidence that Emily would give him a chance. She hated him so much that anything he did wouldn't change the outcome.Knowing this, Jack still wanted to do it.Having been Jack's assistant for so long, she understood what he was thinking. Moreover, she had witnessed Jack falling in love with Emily and then discovering that Emily was the one he deeply loved. This was the first time she had seen him so serious and emotionally expressive. It was evident that last night he had poured a lot of emotions into writing this love letter. Even though she was a man herself, the assistant couldn't help but be m

"Your CEO doesn't know his name? Should I tell him about this?" Maya sarcastically looked at the girl in front of her pretending to be stupid.The more Emily heard, the more confused she became, that name was the first time she heard it, was it time for her to do something instead of just sitting still? But that man is not simple at all, she has waited so much time, can't she just wait a little longer.Like a silly girl who didn't understand, Emily spoke again: "Saran, his name is Saran."The name that she couldn't forget in her whole life, even if it was something she would want to see him again. Just one more time.Maya looked at Emily puzzled, gradually as if she understood something. Unpredictable deep smile."One person was...""Sorry, I'm late."Before Maya finished her sentence, another voice sounded behind them, turning to look at none other than the man with steady steps, gentle eyes looking at Emily.Soon Jack came to Emily's side, the voice in his voice was very soft: "

"Let's go!" He took her hand.Confused, she held her hand and asked, "Where are you working?"He didn't say anything and just pulled her hand away.She thought she knew him well in the palm of her hand, but she didn't expect him to be like a book that had to be turned over to know what was in his heart.This handshake is also extremely warm, making her unconsciously immersed in the tenderness, but soon she returns to reality, clearly seeing the real face of this man is just acting, she is certain to live or die. Nor must he forget what he did to her and those around him.Emily got rid of that hand, her face was a little tired: "Come in and sit for a while."She was not in the mood to go for a walk. Rather, she needed to stay away from this man for a while. Unable to take revenge, she died at the hands of that devil.Jack ordered a drink, then took a small box from his pocket and placed it in front of Emily."This is a gift for a new employee. Open it up."She opened it to see it w

"Absolutely I can't go to work.""If you don't go to work, what will you pay me?" She was still stubborn.About letting her suffer again he couldn't stand it. Today Jack is determined to win her over, for other things he will not open his mouth but automatically yield to her, and on this matter, of course, he does not compromise."You live healthy, I feel very happy." Jack's hand caressed Emily's smooth hair, his hand gently touched her cheek, her skin was so smooth and white, some instinct in him rose, he pulled his hand back to prevent the damn desire from rising. .Is he that good? Certainly not, he was just acting so she could trust him and fall into a trap. If it was a few years ago, surely she would not have thought about it, but believed, giving him all her heart.I think she's an idiot. Ever since she was a child, she has always been bullied by others, she has never struggled to win against those people. Surely this time she had to do the opposite,"If I'm not mistaken

"I won't marry someone who doesn't love me," Celina felt her heart race when she heard Joyce say he would give her a status, but in the end, he was only showing pity, not real love. So, what was the point of all this?"What makes you think I don't love you?" Joyce asked in a low tone. To Celina, leaving his life was the most illogical thing ever. Did she need to say it herself? All his actions and words in the past proved it. She wanted to preserve her dignity and walk away from this."I just want to go on like this," Celina felt that continuing this argument was meaningless. The situation was clear. Holding on would only cause more pain."You've been neglecting me all this time. Prove to me that you married me out of love, not pity," Joyce's sincere eyes were fixed on Celina. He held her hand and took both of their passports to the civil registration office.At first, Celina hesitated because she didn't know if she should write her name on the paper, but with Joyce's expectant gaze,

Celina couldn't resist and sat down in the chair opposite Joyce, but throughout, she didn't dare to lift her head to look at him even once, only hoping to quickly finish the meal on her plate and go to her room.In the somewhat oppressive atmosphere, Celina heard the voices of the third and fourth person in the house, saying, "You both enjoy your meal."Suddenly, there was someone else in the house that surprised Celina and made her lift her head. It was a woman, slightly over forty, serving as a helper. Just as she was puzzled, the voice of the person sitting across from her spoke up, "This is Rinnai; she will be helping with the household chores. From now on, you won't need to cook in the kitchen. Consider it my way of finding you a dining companion to make your meals less lonely."This implied that Joyce wouldn't be coming home to eat with her or have any further contact. So, why was he being so considerate? Celina could take care of herself without his pity.At this moment, Celina

It had been Joyce's second week in his new position as CEO, and every weekend seemed to bring even more work. Being a young CEO, the board of directors wanted to test his capabilities by arranging numerous partner meetings.Despite knowing how busy he was, Celina still prepared dinner for Joyce. Men usually focused on business discussions once they sat at the table, occasionally indulging in a few drinks. Excessive alcohol consumption could lead to untimely intoxication, so she cooked a hearty soup to help him recover from the effects of alcohol. Whether he drank or not, it was better to be prepared.On previous occasions, Jack had returned home by 9 PM, but tonight it was already 10 PM, and Celina hadn't seen him yet. Worry crept in, making her restless. She glanced at the cold food on the table and then at her phone. Many times, she wanted to call him, but the fear of bothering him held her back. Eventually, she sent him a text message."Are you coming home soon? If you're drunk, pl

Celina's intense reaction only made Joyce more certain that she was afraid of the darkness within her. He talked more to relieve the pressure and keep her from dwelling on that matter. Half of the story he was sharing was indeed true.Celina could hear the steady tone in Joyce's voice, which calmed her fears, and she began to relax, her hand resting on the floor and accidentally brushing against his fingers. A jolt of electricity seemed to run through her, making her want to pull her hand away, but he had already firmly held onto it. Their breaths were synchronized, and they were dangerously close to each other. Celina tried to pull away, but Joyce quickly closed the gap by leaning in and planting a passionate kiss on her lips.Celina's rational mind told her that this couldn't be happening between them, and she struggled to escape this situation. However, her efforts were futile compared to Joyce's strength. On the contrary, he skillfully slipped his tongue into her mouth, intensifyin

Is it difficult? Is everything that simple? If everything were that simple, you wouldn't have come this far. You're not my target either.Joyce turned Celina's chair, pulled her closer, face to face, eye to eye, and gently said, "Do you think I would leave you here alone? Your mother would definitely not be happy if she found out."He didn't say that because he was worried about her; he was afraid of his mother's scolding, so he insisted on staying here with her. Celina thought this way, and having Joyce here didn't make her any happier. On the contrary, these seemingly meaningless numbers might have been completed by now.Celina wanted to retreat to her previous position, but the chair didn't budge, mainly because Joyce was holding it firmly."If you're afraid of your mother scolding you, then let go," Celina said, glaring."I'll help you finish faster," he replied.Of course. Joyce showed Celina how to be more precise and not waste time searching, hitting the bullseye with every sho

Celina opened her eyes to find herself sleeping in the car, memories of the day quickly flooding her mind. Due to some exploration game that had exhausted her, she sat in the car listening to Joyce and Xavia's conversation, feeling drowsy, wishing only to lie on a large bed and get some rest.Throughout the journey, Celina had not uttered a word as if she were invisible, allowing the two people above to have their privacy. Yet when Xavia got out of the car, she expressed worries and hints that she might lose Joyce. It's truly perplexing what was going through her mind to say such a thing. Furthermore, she also knows that it's impossible, given that when Joyce introduced her to Xavia as her "little sister," she should understand."Only those who are hard to understand can truly play together."But where did Joyce go?Celina's gaze quickly searched and spotted Joyce's figure leaning against the outside. She opened the door and stepped out, the slightly cold temperature causing her to hu

Many times when sharing a room with Elias, Vera wakes up feeling terribly embarrassed, but everyone is also weird but not all things are tolerated by Elias, so that she wakes up every day as if she is not her body anymore.Joy in her own room Vera did not object, but as for tiny Ruby, she was not even a few months old, and Elias had already given her a room of her own. Thanks to the guy who installed the camera and made the sound when Ruby cried, she could come and go. She asked the reason, he said to train the child to be independent. What is independent, to serve your needs, there is hypocrisy, hypocrisy pretending to be independent.About letting Ruby sleep separately Vera and Elias many times argued with each other, but no matter what, Elias would not let her daughter move back to the room with her parents, on the contrary, let her grandparents take care of her. Remember that the climax of a big argument was when Vera said Elias was bullying her parents."What do you do when you s

"You've stopped loving Elias, why do you say that? Is your wish sincere or just don't want me to monitor your every move. Don't blame me for not trusting you."Danisa understands what Vera feels distrustful of her, if it was her, she would do the same, because a person who once disbelieved will be distrustful many times, so how can he trust.Not that she stopped loving Elias, but that love was only from one side of her, no matter how much she loved him, it was not reciprocated. Danisa realizes that in this world, without love between men and women, it is still possible to live a normal life, there are more sacred feelings than it. So she decided to let him go to live with the person she really loves."Tell me, don't be sad or think about it. My love for Elias has never ended, but I have something to protect and love more than him. So I will let go and my wishes is sincere."Looking into Danisa's eyes she knew she was telling the truth, Vera didn't have time to say anything to her eit

Vera didn't think Elias thought so much about her parents. It was true that she had thoughts of wanting to live together, but who knows if Elias would give it to her. After all, it's your house, not hers, but you can decide on your own, sitting on people's heads can sit just right, not being returned to the place of production just say so. But having lived together is to have respect, share everything, agree to do it, but don't. Only then can they live together.Now that Elias said that, why don't you state your point of view. He asked her, and she responded."Do you really think that? Old people are sick, sometimes it's very troublesome. So you still want to live with my parents?"Maybe Elias was just saying it out of courtesy, so Vera felt it was best for her to ask again just to be sure, but she couldn't open her mouth to say it right away. Everything has a sequence of success before and after, there is nothing in hurry to lose your dignity in your eyes."I insist that I want my pa

Joy's questions around the boy and his new born sister Elias were patiently answered in detail, he made his son not feel abandoned, usually people with a second and third child will ignore lost the first one. So their children will close themselves and become lost, then they will talk less and not share anything with their parents. Even the fact that I have children myself makes those children feel very uncomfortable.When parents do not discover that abnormality to find out what the cause is, those children will grow up to be more rebellious. When they grow up, they will become a different person, which can be good or bad without anyone knowing.If they become anything, it's all made by their parents. So Elias does not want his son to be one of the victims of that coldness when the family has more members. Every child he will love equally, if there is a child a little better, it is because of the disadvantage they have suffered before.Even Vera is very psychological, she called Joy

Elias had not just carried Vera to bed a few minutes before there was a noise outside, and the door was opened soon after.Joy's chubby body ran to bed, I don't know if my parents let me up or not, but he still went up first. Parents are not enough to push the boy down. Not to mention Joy has to get in the middle to bear it."Do you want to sleep with me so I can touch you? I promise to sleep only tonight.""Why do you think you want to sleep with your parents today? Only when you're not out yet. If you give birth, you can't sleep anywhere.""Why?"Joy's father's words of course did not understand, how could the boy understand when Elias' words had so many meanings, but with Vera, he knew immediately what it was. It seems that he has been fasting for a long time without eating, so it is crazy. Who in the world can say that to you?"Don't listen to me. I have an infection in that person." Letting her son lie down next to her, Vera continued: "We'll just sleep. Ignore Dad!"Elias was le

"What? I don't understand what you say.""Are you stupid? I don't understand what you say?""You're always stupid when you're in front of me.""That's why I told you not to be like that. Live for yourself. Life is too short, no one knows how to live and die. You just live it to the fullest.""Aren't you always doing your best? What are you saying?"Suddenly Elias saw Vera sitting there quietly, he put his arm around her, who would have thought that she would not look at him once but talk strange things. Speaking as if it wasn't her, he had to see if she had a fever or illness anywhere, at this rate he would think someone pretending to be Vera broke into his house.While listening to the confidant and saying a few words to people, Elias suddenly touched her head. Vera took off her headphones and asked what he needed, why don't you work today but want to bother her all the time."What's wrong? You can do whatever you want with your job. You can ask me whatever you want." Because she wor
